You could buy the pins at McMaster Carr but you have to have the rings welded on. You might be abe to get some from thgem that might work for you.

The Pins themselves are a standard marine item, available at West Marine, but as Tom said, you have to weld on the rings. Ed

Thanks for the reply.


I am actually going to use one to lock the tail rudder. I want to insert "it" into the rear pin hole with some type of extension forward to hold the rudder in the wind.


The other's I want to use to insert into the sides of the plane to hold fishing poles.......I won't need a trolling motor when I catch the killer whale...

Does anyone know the O.D. of the tubing in the !@#$! mooring pin sockets? I sorta remember what they look like. Having installed them according to instructions many years ago, I totally forgot they were there until trying to run a snake down the hollow gunwhales for my wiring. Dumbass place for them anyway, since there are some in the wings for normal tiedown. At the splashin, I noticed a nice recessed popup mooring cleat at the front of Mike Reiblings plane--very handy. I need to carefully drill out the tube from the outside with minimum damage to my beatimous new paint job.
